After hearing what the second lady said, Bai Shuqing bit her lip and stopped talking.
I couldn't help but think of Tangbao and Xia Siya.
Should she tell them or not?
Bai Shuqing was a little embarrassed.
no!
She had to confirm it with her third brother first.
She didn't believe that the third brother would do such a thing!
**
Unlike the Northern Qi envoys who suddenly appeared in the capital, the arrival of the Western Qin envoys was quite high-profile.
Along the way, he carried customs clearance documents and made a great noise. Before entering Beijing, the news had already reached the emperor's court.
Emperor Tianxi specially sent Xuanyuan Jin, together with the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, to greet him at the city gate, which was considered as giving the Western Qin envoys enough face.
Although Xuanyuan Jin had a cold face, he also understood that this was a national matter and he would take it as his top priority.
What's more, Xuanyuan Jin also has his own plans.
Because, among the envoys of Western Qin this time, there was Mingxuan, the crown prince of Western Qin.
Prince Mingxuan is the person who wants to marry Dayan.
If Mingxuan can be persuaded not to marry Princess Hua Ning, then things will be easier to handle.
City gate.
Xuanyuan Jin rode on his horse and watched Xi Qin's team getting closer and closer.
Then, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"It's you!" Xuanyuan Jin looked at the Prince of Western Qin coming on horseback and said.
Prince Mingxuan of the Western Qin Dynasty smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness, you are well. It seems that Your Highness still remembers Mingxuan."
Xuanyuan Jin twitched the corners of his lips, with a slight sarcasm in his tone, and said: "Prince Ming was unique and generous, so I will certainly remember it."
It was precisely because of this memory that Xuanyuan Jin became more and more displeased with Prince Mingxuan.
Tangbao learned about the envoy of the Western Qin Dynasty from Xuanyuan Jin, and naturally wanted to meet the Prince Mingxuan.
So, I booked a private room in the teahouse early.
"I heard from my father that the prince of Western Qin came here to marry the princess of Dayan." Bai Shuqing asked: "In that case, what will your fifth brother do?"
Bai Shuqing had been to Daliushu Village and naturally became aware of what happened to Su Laowu and Princess Hua Ning.
After hearing what Bai Shuqing said, Tangbao said, "Is he sure that he can marry him if he wants to? He is so beautiful!"
No one can rob her sister-in-law!
Western Qin just wants to marry Dayan. Whoever the marriage partner is may not be impossible to change.
"Then...does your fifth brother know about this?" Bai Shuqing asked.
Sugar Baby shook his head.
However, I'm afraid I can no longer hide it anymore.
After all, with the arrival of the Western Qin envoy, this matter may become headline news in the capital.
"I will find an opportunity to tell Fifth Brother." Tangbao said: "Anyway, my Fifth Brother will definitely be able to outstrip that Prince of Western Qin in eighteen streets!"
After hearing what Tang Bao said, Bai Shuqing naturally nodded in agreement.
"By the way, what do you want to see me for today?" Tangbao suddenly looked at Bai Shuqing and asked.
Bai Shuqing went to look for her and saw her going out, so he followed her to the teahouse.
"I can't have tea with you if I have nothing to do." Bai Shuqing said.
In my heart, I couldn't help but think of my third brother.
She personally asked the third brother if he had raised an outside wife.
The third brother was very angry and immediately denied it, almost falling out with her.
However, she didn't know why, but she felt a little uneasy.
Because the third brother’s initial reaction was too intense.
It seems like... trying to hide something.
"Of course you can drink tea with me." Tangbao said with a smile, "But if there is anything you should tell me, don't hide it from me."
He said, and took out two more small porcelain bottles.
"Here, here are the beauty cream and lip balm. The lip balm is specially prepared by me to suit your skin color and facial features." Tangbao said, "In a few days, I will embroider a shawl for you.
, the weather will get warmer in the future, it will be suitable for outings.”
Bai Shuqing was overjoyed.
"Hee hee, you are so kind to me. It's not in vain that I made you my friend." Bai Shuqing said, wishing she could hug her sugar baby and give her a few kisses.
"It's good that you know." Tang Bao raised his chin and said, "I, Su Tang, always treat my friends sincerely."
"Yeah, I know." Bai Shuqing couldn't put it down, holding two small porcelain bottles, opening them one by one and smelling them. They were all her favorite scents!
Bai Shuqing thought of the silk shawl promised by Tangbao again, and said quickly: "I want a light green one, embroidered with spring flowers."
"Well, sure." Sugar Baby said generously, "Don't worry, I'll make sure you're the most beautiful when the time comes."
Bai Shuqing was filled with joy.
When she goes out for a spring outing in a few days, she will definitely surprise those ladies from famous families.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Is this the Princess of Ford inside? My master has invited the Princess to come over and have a talk."
Tangbao looked at Pomegranate and said, "Who is his master?"
Pomegranate agreed, opened the door and walked out.
After a while, he came back and said with a sullen face: "Miss, this is the second prince."
Sugar baby: "..."
The ghost lingers.
"Tell him that there are differences between men and women, and it is inconvenient for me to go there," Tangbao said.
Pomegranate immediately went out to spread the message.
Bai Shuqing glanced at Tangbao and said in confusion: "The second prince is showing kindness to you like this, which is something no one can ask for. It's better for you to look disgusted. What's wrong with being a prince's concubine?
"
Tangbao's face darkened and he said, "How old am I? If he just wants to get married with the Su family, then he will give up. If he doesn't fall in love with me at first sight, don't you think he is perverted?"
Bai Shuqing: "..."
It seems...a little bit.
Even if Sugar Baby doesn't say it, she doesn't think so.
After all, there are many girls who are engaged at Sugar Baby's age.
However, now that the sugar baby talked about it, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Sister Su!" The second prince's voice came from outside the door.
Sugar baby: "..."
Could she pretend not to hear?
able!
Tang Bao picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Then, he looked out the window.
"Why hasn't the envoy from Western Qin come yet?" Tangbao said with a puzzled expression.
Bai Shuqing's mouth twitched.
"Hey! If he makes a fuss outside the door like this, you're not afraid of spreading the word. On the contrary, it will be bad for your reputation?" Bai Shuqing said in a low voice: "In my opinion, you'd better say a few words to him and make him
Just let it go."
Sugar Baby: "...Okay."
However, when the sugar baby opened the door, there was nothing outside.
The second prince has left.
Tangbao spread his hands towards Bai Shuqing.
Little did he know, the second prince just pushed the door open and entered the next room.
The queue of Western Qin envoys was very long.
In addition to Prince Mingxuan riding a horse in front and his close bodyguards, there was also a gorgeous carriage behind.
Sitting in the carriage was the princess of Western Qin, Mingli.
Sugar Baby sat by the window and looked out.
The first thing I saw was naturally Xuanyuan Jin.
However, the person next to Xuanyuan Jin——
She remembers!
Isn't this the rich and willful man who wanted to spend a thousand taels of gold to buy the painting he painted when he was in Qingzhou Mansion?
It turned out to be him!
Tangbao suddenly understood.
No wonder the marriage between Western Qin and the Qin Dynasty was named by Sister Ning.
It turned out that this person had known for a long time that the beauty in the painting was the eldest princess of Dayan.
